Arrbjorn's Paintscapade

Picked up Forza 5 for Christmas, and have been enjoying it ever since. The racing is plenty fun and there’s plenty of it to keep me busy, but I decided to slow down and start enjoying some of the other parts of the game.

The first thing I decided to do was make a re-make of Reese Bobby’s ride from Taledega Nights. It was simple enough to do, and getting used to making shapes with the ones available to me was good practice. I must have spent two hours trying to make the 3 for the side of the car.

The next thing I decided to take on was the General Lee. This required me to make a Union Jack, outlined text for the driver’s name position over the windows, and custom numbers for the sides. I started getting the hang of the tool set with this one.


With a little more experience under my belt I decided I wanted to make something a little more custom. I chose the worst care I could have possibly chosen. I decided to make a hot-rod VW Beetle. The mapping Turn10 did on this car is despicable and they should be ashamed. That being said I went with a tri-tone Charcoal/Red/Black combo with some simple flames. I really liked how it turned out.




After spending hours dealing with the horrible texture mapping on that vehicle and realizing they were just planar mapping the side/front/back I picked a van, because all that other stuff aside, who doesn’t love a 70s van? I made custom counter-sunk screws, a bubble window (held on by the aforementioned screws) and laid out a truly wicked 70s paint scheme. This is my latest creation and I must say it turn out rather well in my opinion.




Looking forward to hearing what the community has to say about how I am fairing so far. Thanks all!

Did I do something wrong in this thread that it’s not getting any replies? I’m brand new to this community so my apologies if I’ve offended.

Some good paints here, I really like the van one.
The forums these days are really quiet. You may get people viewing your page, but hardly anyone replies these days, keep painting tho.

@Arrbjorn
Nicely done. I think one of the reason why people arent replying atm. Is probably because this is the Forza Horizon 2 forum and not Forza Motorsport 5 hence even though these designs are awesome we cant actually get it in horizon . Unless i am mistaken about that. Also i dont think a lot of regular members are active since the past couple of days.

Keep up the good work.

Nice work, the flag on the General Lee isn’t a union jack though. :wink:
